My son is in public school (I know, I know). Middle school age and Literature class has had them read 2 horrible books thus far. Agenda stories about family dysfunction, broken homes, encouraging kids to run away, underage sexual innuendo, etc. Most kids/parents stomached the first book, but the 2nd book led to a mini rebellion. Kids aren't reading it and not turning in weekly assignments.
Basically the response from kids and parents alike, was a very civil, "we don't like this book nor its subject matter." The teacher wisely responded without a fight and said moving forward, the kids can pick any book they want on a topic of interest to them instead of reading the agenda-forced libtard reading material. Most kids are picking books about their favorite sport/athlete, music, biography, etc.
Common sense seems to have prevailed in this local win.
If you please, what are the two books? I also have middle schoolers in ps.
Walk Two Moons
Themes: Adultry, divorced parents, broken homes, children running away, 12yos kissing, Grandparents giving a 12yo keys to drive. Apparently banned in several schools districts across the U.S.
Hoot
This summary pretty much sums it up. Kids drinking & smoking, sexualization in kids, woke media/product representation, domestic violence, etc
Thank you for the response I will keep an eye out.
